Yes it could, but depends on how many machines you put there. 1) If the machines are all communicating within the same host (for example, an MS NLB cluster), the traffic never leaves the box to even go out over the wire. 2) If you need another virtual switch connection on the same network, you would have to connect another physical NIC and assign machines to that. For example, for “Network Main” you want to add a second connection. You plug in your cabling, and name them like “Network Main A” and “Network Main B”. Then, alternate machines assigned to the switches based on what you need.

I am working with HyperV on Win2K12. I don't get the virtual switches. Creating one assigns only one physical nic to it yet you can have multiple VM's assigned to it. Does this create a bottleneck? This is different than VMWare. On Sun, Aug 10, 2014 at 10:16 PM, Damien Solodow <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: "It depends". Which version of Hyper-V are you looking at? (Assuming 2012 R2) What guest OS(es) do you need to support? How many host servers do you have? Do you have System Center licenses? The reason for System Center is that System Center Virtual Machine Manager is the approximate equivalent for vCenter Server. There is a Microsoft Virtual Academy course (free) that's HyperV & System Center for VMware admins that I'd highly suggest checking out.

We're running VMware standard in production, but we're about to put up Hyper-V in our DMZ, for the experience, if nothing else.
